The heat capacity of an amorphous polymer is insensitive to molecular and processing variables except in the glass transition region. Here DSC shows a variety of potentially confusing curves that result from a coupling of instrumental‐ and sample‐based rate effects. The curves can be simply analysed to give true glass temperatures that characterise the method of glass formation.
